STOCKHOLM - Expressen's Anders Nunstedt has gotten an exclusive prelisten of "Party Crasher," here are his comments:

SILLY REALLY - Relentless keyboard riffs dominate the album's absolute feel good-hit, which consists of 87 % hair mousse and 13 % disco.

THE PARTY PLEASER - hard-as-a-nail pop song with tons of oh la la's, hey-hey's and yeah yeah's. It sounds like two Roxette robots mangle P!nk with a gigantic steam roller.

STUCK HERE WITH ME - Per Gessle goes Justin (!). An r'n'b ballad (!) which is more exciting than Gyllene Tider's "Upphetsad" ("Excited")! As if the title starts with "F" instead of "St"…


SING ALONG - Helena Josefsson, who sang like a British nightingale from the '60s on "Plumber" takes a lot of space. Power ballad á la "Joyride".

GUT FEELING - Per buys a ticket to a T-Rex dream and sounds about the same as the latest Swedish solo album. Great rock song.

PERFECT EXCUSE - The pop magician transforms magically in this nice ballad: he changes and sounds like - abra cadabra - Michael Jackson!

BREATHE LIFE INTO ME - Gessle has already done the best whistle solo thru times ("Här kommer alla känslorna"). Now he's laying back in his soul chair and whistles a nice reggae.

HEY, I DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN - A Timbaland-remix of "Wish I Could Fly"? A typical Gessle ballad, as romantically airy as the title suggests.

KISSING IS THE KEY - "Kissing is the key/to an everlasting love". And the music settles it. This is Eurythmics in "Tommy's Pop Show" circa '83.

THAI WITH A TWIST - Per rhymes "womanizer" with "kaiser" and "tranquilizer" before the song disappears in an unexpected saxophone solo drenched in audience sounds. Rather silly.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO TURN YOU ON -  The B-side of "Silly really". Electronic pop reggae with a brilliant synth solo.

DOESN'T MAKE SENSE - Amazing little synthpop ballad that, how odd it may seem, sounds like an electronic mash-up of Van Morrison and the Pet Shop Boys.

Anders Nunstedt also adds that the Roxette party is over, for good, and that there's a new party in town. Per's party.

He is not sounding very enthusiastic about the album

It’s not a “review” per se, although I find it rather positive.

regn said on :

It “sounds” like a Good review (even if isn’t) and as many years ago i feel a little anxious to hear Gessle & his catchy weapon.

onlywhenidream said on :

I think it sounds like a great review - or have I just read something completely different?

daniel_alv said on :

I think he sounds positive to the new album.

CoyRoy said on :

In my opinion, he sounds very positive about Per’s new album. What bothers me is the fact that he think Roxette’s “party” is over for good. I know Roxette will be back!!

Roxryder said on :

Okay, that’s just hilarious! As great as I think P!nk is, it’s fun to think of Rox crushing her (-;

Oh, something like new modern version of my absolutely most favourite Roxette ballad? Wowww!

Sounds very positive! Anders Nunstedt liked the album.

I like this quote. As a huge Roxette fan, and as someone that doesn’t like P!nk very much, I found this rather amusing.

Mr_Sandman said on :

I don’t care what Anders “NUTSHELL” Nunstedt has to say/comment on PC, as I believe that Per is a Brilliant Musician, but how on earth can Anders “NUTSHELL” Nunstedt compare Per to Justin Timberlake or even worst WAKCO JACKO, I wouldn’t compare my ex wife to WJ and that is saying something. But P!nk she’s f**king awesome just like our Per.

tevensso (moderator) said on :

Maybe the songs sound like Justin and Michael, that’s why? I can’t think of another answer.

goetz said on :

...Power ballad á la “Joyride”...
- Epic credibility fail!

Mr_Sandman said on :

Maybe your right, I must admit Michael does write great songs, just like our Per. But I hope that is all the Andres is comparing him too. As for Justin mmmmmmmmmmmm well I’ll just live it at that.

coyboyusa said on :

lol i ned to correcrt someone mj co wrote alot of good songs check his album liner notes most of jacksons own songs are syrupy messes. I love pink too, the track i don;t believe you is one of the most heart wrenching songs she’s ever written
